CPS-VO: Active Resources

Explanation of Demonstration: The central objective of the proposed research is to transform the CPS-VO from a collaboration platform and passive repository of information into an active resource that provides access to tools and methods emerging from the CPS research community. The project will make a significant contribution to education via support to student competitions that will help prepare a new generation of students who will be inspired and trained to realize the promise of CPS. We expect that the integrated suite of models, integration platforms, and intellectual frameworks to be developed and contributed by the research community will lead to a new era of low-cost, distributed and open design infrastructure.
